ROSES | IM Changkyun

And Some Air too..

Kyun POV

I wonder which next weekend she will decide to pop up. It has been three weekends, I am not stupid not to think that of course she must have bailed on me already and disappeared this time for good. I smirked with the thought that I am getting too occupied again with everything about her.

Too close but still too fucking far.

I wrote a restaurant address for her to go instead of my address, cause my stupid head thought I could probably and indirectly ask for a date in return for her dress. I know she's smart, and it's obviously making me weak, that I crave for more of her.

I asked Yong to put a spot at Sheikh's just to look after her during the game nights, but she never came.

I don't have anything of her, to find. Sometimes I wish i just gave her my damn number instead of pulling this stupid stint.

"Another glass sir?" The waiter approached me after seeing my wine glass empty.

"No, I'm good." I gave him my black card to ring the bill and stood up.

Patek said it's another 9 in the evening with no show. Left another bouquet of flowers on the table.

"Just call me, when she gets here" I instructed the manager.

"Yes Mr. Im same spot as always." He nodded as I gave him a light tap on his shoulder.

Kihyun calling.

Right.. he must have known by now, it's their restaurant after all.

"Yo" I answered. While I swing the restaurant door open to step out.

"Hey, what's up? Heard she bailed on you again.." He chuckled but sounded concerned at the same time.

"Yeah, guess I'm not her type" I laughed at him too.

"Must be the flowers" he teased.

"Oh really..so Roses are lame?" those were two dozens of roses new color every time I wait thrown every single weekend for the last three weeks.

"Haha I'm just saying maybe Peonies will bring luck next time, if there is a next" Kihyun suggested.

"Nah, Imma stick with the plan, and I'm sticking with my roses" I confidently said. One last weekend, one last week and that's it.

"Nice..I see the confidence you got there! Update us when you finally see your princess.. "

We hung up as I shook my head and smiled.

I was about to lit a stick when I suddenly felt droplets of water from my forehead.

Great. Thanks for making this day even worse.

I drove myself home with the dress still with me.

I exhaled deep thinking of another waiting game week till this is over.

Continued smoking at home, while enjoying the night sky view. The silence is deafening if not only for the sound of the clock tick, I thought I'll really go deaf.

Slowly the night gets deeper and so as the following week.

Monday

Tuesday

Wednesday

Thursday

Friday

Saturday. Night.

It's as if time is really playing on me, the slow the weekdays were the fast the weekend goes. I remember waking up at 11am, I just had netflix and some beer, now it's already 6 in the evening.

I checked my phone just for any single update about her, from the club, the restaurant, damn even the convenience store. But nothing.

I palmed my face. One last time Kyun, One last..

Took a shower and dressed for the best night that could probably not happen again.

I already have my checklist done for the weekend after all those weekends.

Her Dress. Check

Table. Check

Food. Check

Wine. Check

Flowers. Check

(MSC-Middle of the Night-MonstaX)

I sighed deeply, as I drove myself to Roni's praying this day to be good.

Yup, I carried the flowers myself cause I picked them myself. Two dozen red roses. I entered the restaurant as if it's prom night.

The manager greeted me and walked me as usual to my reserved VIP table.

My wine came immediately after me.

It's a no-brainer for me to choose this place. It's Ki's well that's why–Roni's ..The food is amazing and of course the wine is exquisite. Their distillery's finest are served here.

No food will be served till she's here. So the waiting game usually brings me at least 5 glasses of wine.

I'm up for my fifth, and the feeling of getting officially defeated is sinking in. She will never come. She must have left God knows where.

Checked the time for a reconfirmation, it's past 9.

I put my leg down after an hour of crossing it and fidgeting like a teenager waiting for his crush to show up on a first date.

"Okay.." I exhaled and stood up, back facing the door and took the remaining drops of my wine when the private room door swung open..that's them for sure trying to accommodate me with another glass of wine.

"I'm good, I'm not having anymore" I waved without looking as I tried to reach my card from my suit pocket.

"Uhmm okay.." Holy shit..no way..

I thought the clock stopped.

She...came.

My heart beat just went damn crazy. I can feel my blood rushing through my entire body to my fingertips.

I looked in the direction where I heard her voice.

And there she stood once again, in front of me...making me weak.
